All files of your Galaxy instance belong to a "pseudo-account", a shared account that is generated by an administrator at installation time. A pseudo-account does not belong to an individual person, but belongs to a specific group. Everyone in the group can log in to the pseudo-account using [https://docs.computecanada.ca/wiki/Using_SSH_keys_in_Linux SSH keys]. The name of the pseudo-account in this case is the same name as the top Galaxy directory explained above, eg., <code>daglxy</code>. In order to modify any file of your Galaxy instance, e.g. configuration files, you first need to log in to the pseudo-account. Before you can log in you must generate an SSH key pair, store your public key somewhere in your <code>home</code> directory, and let the administrator know about that. The administrator will store your public key in an appropriate place, after which you can log in to your pseudo-account. | All files of your Galaxy instance belong to a "pseudo-account", a shared account that is generated by an administrator at installation time.

Starting Galaxy server is the first thing that needs to be done by users. Galaxy server should NOT be run on cedar headnode or any compute node. We have a dedicated server called "gateway" and it contains a web server with relevant Cedar filesystems, <code>/project</code> and <code>/home</code> directories mounted on it. Users cannot make a SSH connection to this machine due to security reasons, however we have designed a web site on this machine that can start/stop your galaxy server. The website also allows you to user Galaxy web interface to communicate with the server. To do that please go to the website [https://gateway.cedar.computecanada.ca/ https://gateway.cedar.computecanada.ca/] and click on Galaxy link. You will automatically redirect to your galaxy server manager website where you can Start/Stop your server or use Galaxy web interface. | |||
